Abstract
Using a prestressed concrete beam and an RC slab system, the effects of design parameters such as column grid size, location of structural element, number of storeys, arrangement of beams and the grade of concrete on the quantities of the various constituents of reinforced and prestressed concrete construction have been investigated for square grids varying from 10 m × 10 m to 14 m × 14 m.
